Here's what they don't teach in economics and, for the record, I only have 9 graduate credits in economics as part of an MBA I earned 28 years ago.

The potential for wealth creation is essentially infinite

TINSTAAFL

Every dollar spent by the government is a dollar taken from it's most productive use and dedicated to a less productive use

All fiat currencies eventually fail

No government can create wealth, but all governments can destroy wealth

Get to work, we'll all be better off.

Finally, if you want more of something, subsidize it. If you want less of something, tax it. We subsidize poverty and tax wealth creation.

Here’s another: In the entire history of the world, no country has ever taxed itself into prosperity.
